Hey Howdy Hey Brianna and welcome back to planDisney!
The
benefits of staying onsite at a Disney Resort Hotel continue to get better in 2025! As you mentioned Brianna, Guests checking into their Disney Resort Hotel will have complimentary access to the water parks on the day of their check-in. While this can be a huge perk, many Guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort are also so excited to get into the parks. Let's talk strategy for arrival day!
Long story short Brianna, if you want to visit the Theme Parks on the day of your check-in and the water parks, you are more than welcome to. One thing I would keep an eye on as the time gets closer is the
operating hours of the water parks. Sometimes in the cooler months, Disney may adjust the operating hours to close earlier than 8:00 PM. Considering this perk is new next year, time will tell how Disney will adjust the park hours for this special option. You may want to have a Plan B ready to experience a little of the water parks first and then the park pending availability.
I'm sure you have already looked into all there is to experience in the water parks, but a pro tip, if you were visiting
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, you would want to check out
Miss Adventure Falls. Hop aboard a raft for 4 as you take the plunge through a thrilling water experience for the whole family. It is super fun and a great way to get your vacation started while in the park.
I hope you continue to enjoy the process of planning your Magical vacation early next year, it sounds like you have a great jump on things! If you have any other questions let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
